(I want to) showcase New England. There’s such an attraction and interest from people about us and the way we live here in New England. I want to highlight all the special things that make us who we are.

Why return to WCVB-TV?

It just made perfect sense, … because of the relationship I have with (station owner) Hearst and my (now former) general manager, Bill Fine. It was the station I grew up watching. And then to be able to be a part of building even a small chapter in that station’s history, it was pretty incredible, the run we had for seven years. The EyeOpener’s success was something we were all just incredibly proud of.

WCVB was already my home. It made sense to stay there, just in a different capacity.

How did you come up with the name Lucky Gal Productions?

I feel that I’ve been afforded some great breaks in the industry and people have helped me along the way. I feel lucky in the sense of where I’ve been able to build a career in an industry that can be very competitive, … I’ve really been fortunate to have the right mentors and people to rally behind me in my journey. I feel like I have been very lucky in so many ways. Of course you have to work hard (as well). … A huge work ethic has been part of what I like to attribute to some of my success.

What do you think you’ll miss most about the morning news show?

When there’s a big story happening, there will be that itch (to cover it). I’m sure I’ll miss that. I’ll also miss all those great on-air and off-air partnerships with talented people at Channel 5. … We had some really great times there. I always said it was the most fun you could have at 4:30 in the morning.
